I've just traded a Winchester model 190 22cal for a model 70 270 cal. It looks to be a post 64 It has an engraving on the bottom of the action from a local gun smith ( long closed) dated 1980, vice marks on the barrel, extra holes ( I think) drilled and taped in rear left of receiver, end of barrel has some marks on it like work was done to it. Barrell is 18.5 inches long. No other serial numbers, action also has machining marks on it.
Its been unloved, missing front sights, front swivel eye, was dirty and bolt was tough to move but now cleaned , moves well. Blueing is crap and it looks like someone was resting it on the top of a steel fence post. I would like to return this to a good working gun, i dont mind the patina.
Any background or guesses you can give are appreciated. Any leads or reccomendations for improvements, I'm all ears.
Thanks
